Following V6

Yesterday, I have test drive Civic 1.5 TP and Mazda 3. I am very impress with Civic. I think it is better car compare to Mazda 3 overall for now. The Mazda 3, I tested have no G vectoring, so may not be total fair comparison. May retest Mazda 3 later.

I wonder how good is the Civic handling ? Anyone drive up to Genting via Hulu Yam route or any hilly roads ?

Short distance test drive, can't tell everything. Like to know before making any booking.

Guys, need an opinion for 1.5 TC VS 1.5 TC-P. I see most of the stuff is cosmetics. Only two things I consider important, Air cond Duo Auto and Navigation. Is it really useful or can I live without it ?

Personally I prefer Waze or google map for GPS map, (I am an iphone user).

Thanks guys for feed back

Wah, that's bad . I am driving a manual car, can overtake older gen Civic. If I buy Civic X, it may mean downgrade

Which branch is this ? I will avoid this.

I call up some SA, if booking now some say end of July and some say August. One SA says they ramping up production for new CRV, so Civic will be less. I suspect he bullshit.
Hope to book one and replace my old car very soon.

Oh I see. Hmmm. Indeed they have the best discount offer. I pass my phone number to their sales until now no news. May skip this branch then.

That's too much. I think they are overbooked and not honest. It's a good thing they don't call me, I can skip it for good. Congrats ! Enjoy your ride, doyok2630 .

I contact a few and visited one. Apparently those with 3S, SA gives less discount and cautiously promising delivery date (up to 2 months). Others give more discount, seems to able deliver within 1 month . They would not say have ready stock, ask to book first.
So the SA I talked to, isn't lying. It can only mean, longer delivery time for Civic

Haiyo. Can't overtake or win in every situations, just accept people overtake you. Let go ...

Certainly driver problem.

Yeah, yours is higher. No datuk son here, (tar gong chai)

Never heard of it. You can ask her for some establish brands or take it out and do it at other tint shops. It's optional after all.

Just received my ride a few days ago, TC-P Luna Silver. Have been driving around and enjoying it every minute. This my first Honda, I never drive a Honda before. Coming from an old school manual car (Alfa Romeo), Civic IMO is simply too hi tech. I am not used to the hand brake button and things like auto head lights. Gradually adapting to it.

As for performance and handling, so far so good. Have not push the car to the limit yet. At a later date, going hilly roads for a test. I find crossing roundabouts and overtaking no problemo. CVT isn't comparable to manual but it is not bad for an auto gear, quite smooth. Driving around town with moderate traffic short distance, up till now is about 9.3 km/l.

I think I make the right choice of buying TC-P, it looks better with the LED and GPS is immediately useful when the first time I driving back from the Honda showroom, since not familiar with that area.

Honda Civic

I am having a problem with Garmin GPS unit. The GPS seems to be stuck at a position in the map. It is always Acquiring Satellites, the satellite icon keep on blinking. At times it is not responsive. I have try reboot HU a few times but does not solve problem entirely. Sometimes it works but most of the time it doesn't.

For TCP owners, is this unusual ?
Is there another way to reset it ?

I am in Shah Alam, not many high rise here and not often go underground parking . The car is tint with V Kool. I check with my iphone, google maps is OK. Stopping or moving, it is not locking. Funny, it was working when I was first driving back to Shah Alam from Seri Kembangan. I wonder if is faulty unit.

I am going to drive test with phone google map, let's see if any difference. Tint problem or other issue.

I plan to check with SC when 1000km service comes. Thanks, I know how to reboot the HU, have been following this thread for a while. I have no android phone, just iphone. So far, my iphone GPS works well via Car Play. Can't understand why phone GPS works better than the HU. I mean both of the devices are under tint. The phone is put near the gear area. According to the manual, HU GPS antenna is situated in the dashboard, should be in better position compare to phone.

And sometimes it works .... Minor annoyance ...

The trick is to look for Honda dealer that have ready TCP stock. Then you can get the car fast.
Cancel current booking and go to another dealer (Make sure the dealer must have stock )

I asked a few Honda dealers and some SA call me up, thanks to my friend. This is before and after Raya. Discount is from 2k to 5.5k for TCP. Some give discount but no freebies. I think Raya promotion have nothing to do with discount, as some dealers offers only 2k discount before Raya.

Honda does not have their own sales branch in Malaysia, they rely on dealers to sell. From my understanding not all follow Honda's policies.

I already got my Civic.

On the subject on fuel consumption.
Did anyone test eco mode for the Civic Turbo ?

How does it fare ?

Yeah, understood.

I just wonder, I read a few postings here regarding fuel consumption. Did anyone test it under eco mode ?
